Yul Moldauer is actually a great alternate. He can replace routines on many apparatus, if needed.

Woodward drops Gymnastics & Cheer
Damn.
I loved my weeks coaching at Woodward West.
Recall a company called the Powdr Corporation purchased Woodward in 2011.
I suspect this has everything to do with sexual misconduct lawsuits against coaches, including Nathaniel Singer in 2022.
Announcement:
We have made the difficult decision to discontinue gymnastics and cheer programming at all Woodward locations, including Woodward Pennsylvania and Woodward West Camps. …
For those of you looking for other camp options, we would encourage you to reach out International Gymnastics Camp (IGC) or Flip Fest …

USA MAG Worlds Trial day 2
Donnell Whittenburg and Brody Malone already qualified for Worlds.
WHO will be selected for the other 3 competition spots. Plus traveling alternate.
Day 2 AA results were not all that great:
1. Shane Wiskus 82.900
2. Colt Walker 82.800
3. Yul Moldauer 82.700
4. Asher Hong 81.500
USA has a chance at top 3 teams in Liverpool. Therefore they should be taking chances to try to finish 3rd, not 4th. TOP THREE automatically qualify to Olympics Paris.
Kensley Behel was on site for GymCastic. LIVE tweeting @kensleyanne. Kensley will be at Worlds, as well.
PREDICTIONS:
The team is weak on Pommels and H Bar. The defending World Champion likely earned his spot with this set today.

No doubt we’ll see additional surprise guests make an appearance.

Kaylia Nemour 6.95 E-score
Many were surprised at this evaluation for Kaylia’s awesome Bars routine.
Aside from the great SAVE on one regrasp, most of the deductions were for handstand angles, something for which FIG WAG puts far too much importance IMHO.
As a coach, I’d recommend Kaylia switch to straddle cast handstand, used in 2022 by almost every Elite past about age-10.
